Dollycas’s Thoughts
The synopsis is right, “This book’s so delicious it’ll make your mouth water and leave you hankerin’ for more.” Those television people are in town and you just know there is going to be trouble.
Sheriff Kenni Lowry’s mama makes a scrumptious chicken pot pie and celebrity chef Frank Von Lee from the t.v. show Southern Home Cookin’ has come to town to check it out. He is also visiting another recipe contestant in a nearby town before he makes his final decision of which one to feature on his show. It is very surprising when the chef is found dead in his hotel room with a chicken pot pie nearby. Kenni’s mom becomes the prime suspect, and it is going to take everything Kenni and her ghostly grandfather can do to clear her of the crime. Some of the things they uncover are pretty shocking.
While reading this book I was reminded of a series of books written by J. J. Cook (Joyce and Jim Lavene), the Sweet Pepper Fire Brigade Mysteries. In that series, like this one, the protagonist is assisted by her grandfather that happens to be a ghost. I have been missing those authors and that series. As I get further and further into this series by Tonya Kappes the feelings I had about the Lavene’s stories are rallying with this one.
This time with Kenni’s mother seemingly the only suspect, she is removed from the case, with her now boyfriend Finn taking it over. That doesn’t mean Kenni is done investigating, she just needs to be a little more careful so the mayor doesn’t get wind of what she is doing. I love the interplay between Kenni and her Poppa. He has had her back since she became sheriff. But, it is getting harder and harder to keep his ghost a secret. There are too many times she has been caught talking to “herself”. All the characters Ms. Kappes has created in this story are interesting and the main ones are very engaging.
The plot lines this time are full of goodies, fraudulent handicapped parking passes, a pop-up botox clinic, the antics of Kenni and her mama checking out the other recipe contestant (be prepared to laugh out loud), and the murder of chef Frank Von Lee. Tonya Kappes twists it all together to make one heck of a story.
Filled with Southern charm, humor, delightful characters, a smidgen of romance, and a well-plotted mystery Six Feet Under is an absolute must-read.
If this is a new series to you, start and the beginning, sit back, read and enjoy. You can thank me later 🙂

I seriously love this series of books. The mystery is strong in each installment and I love the romance that has developed over the series so far between Kenni and Finn. I also love the small town as a character itself in the series. I grew up in a small Southern town and have to say Ms. Kappes has written it spot on with everyone being in each other's business. The mystery, romance and humor in each book keeps me coming back for more.
